The final Seville Farm Market organizational meeting before the start of the new season is 7 p.m., Thursday, May 6, at Seville United Methodist Church, 74 W. Main St. If you're considering participating in the market for the first time and would like more information, we'd love to have you join us.

Our special guest will be Melissa O'Connell of the Medina County Health Department, who will update us on food safety guidelines and answer questions. Our fantastic yard signs will be ready for you to pick up, too. (Thank you, Larry and Edie Landis!)

For those who are planning to participate in the market, if you haven't yet taken care of your $25 vendor's fee for the season, it'll be a good opportunity to do so, since the May 29 opening day soon will be upon us.

It's another in the CC's "Don't Buy Food from Strangers" film series. The movie tells the story of Oceana County, Michigan, which for 30 years has been the Asparagus Capital of the World. Now its residents and family farms are fighting to save their beloved roots.

The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival has said: "This subtle but powerful film unveils intricate connections among community identity, family farming, national politics and international trade, while at the same time revealing the aplomb and good cheer of these indomitable, spear-struck Michiganders."

A Word for our Sponsors

Market Master

The Seville Farm Market is run by vendors, for vendors. That means every vendor must play an active role in organizing and operating the market.Each week, a vendor takes a turn as Market Master. Duties include: Setting up coffee, setting up and taking down traffic barriers, registering new vendors, making sure trash is picked up, and addressing any questions that arise.
